esp32-c5 pocket scanner is done, and the only thing I hate is the antenna. need something smaller that still does 2.4 and 5 GHz without being garbage. what are you all running? #ESP32 #ESP32C5 #WiFi #3DPrinting #DIYElectronics

sparkle (esp32-s3 + c5 wardrive build) works, now the fun part is deciding what it should actually log. ssid, bssid, channel, rssi, gps fix are the obvious ones. what do you log on your wardrive rigs that you wish you'd started capturing sooner?
